let's watch the sound bite from jen psaki.doing this interview in real-time and real-time zelinski, the president of the ukraine just sent out the suite. i want to read it to you, i know you haven't seen it yet, i haven't seen it yet. we want to remind the great power is out there are no minor incursions and small nations. just as there are no minor casualties and the grief of lost loved ones, i say this is a loss of power. your reaction to that? >> thank you for the opportunity and let me be very clear. the president has conveyed directly to president putin, if there is movement of any military trips across the border, that's an invasion. if they go in, that's an invasion. there will be severe economic consequences. >> emily: and so have that tweet from president zelensky, and it's really quite striking to see the pushback against president biden on this. and interestingly to me, within an hour of the press conference over that statement out from the press secretary that made me think, you know, i've sat in that office before

and the intellectual talking heads suddenly, like jen psaki forgets about these variables.rget about the victim, they forget about the fiend out on bail because they are so drowned in their context, their fate context, its political b.s. and probably the largest cold butter sling and cover your ass strategy, because the media knows that they are responsible for the pro-crime climate and this is their only way out. >> jesse: jen psaki, i hope you're watching. >> greg: call me. >> jesse: president biden's plans for the supreme court, getting the smack down from the american people. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ g anything it takes to make dentistry work for your life. so we offer a complete exam and x-rays free to new patients without insurance - everyday. plus, patients get 20% off their treatment plan. we're on your corner and in your corner every step of the way. because your anything is our everything. aspen dental. anything to make you smile. book today at aspendental.com, walk in, or call 1-800-aspendental. ♪ limu emu ♪ and doug. we gotta tell people that liberty mutual customizes car insura

you have jen psaki picking twitter fights with youngkin and trying to pass a bill to nationalize electionstheir own party and psaki talks about an agenda. in 2022 what part of the agenda do they have momentum on? build back better is dead, inflation is out of control. they haven't shut down the virus that they promised they would. all these restrictions remain if place. no rationale to keep down this road. >> harris: "washington post" op-ed says what happens when legislation fails? your supporters grow disenchanted just as democratic voters are becoming now. they feel unmotivated to organize and turn out to vote. if democrats could come up with a really good reason for voters to fear republicans and pound it it might motivate enough democrats to get to the polls to avert disaster but they haven't done that yet. laura. >> well, i think there is so much to respond to here. if you look at the overall picture you look at the jobs recovery which my colleague neglected to mention and probably for a reason because it was close to miraculous the way the economy has recovered with respect to jobs.

jen psaki also has the foreign affairs experience i guess you could call it with her couple of years spent at the state department, she would have been the one better prepared to qualify to answer the questions about how the president messed up when it comes to minor incursion line he delivered in context of russia and ukraine. when you put kamala harris in a position like that where she's got to be defending something, she already comes across as defensive and that's a bad position for them to put her in. kennedy: i go back to she doesn't read briefing material, she doesn't have a grasp of the basics let alone nuances required to write a wrong position so when the president said something wrong, the vice president is really the worst person out there because she -- two defensive, she comes off as angry and it would be fine if you are angry and competent because everyone loves a bad, everyone thousand. everyone wants to see someone in the moment and say the right thing and put us all in our place. she has a hard time doing that when she's press on anything, she falls apart. default u

opt out of mask mandates this sweet tw jen psaki.re, thanks to the school for standing up for kids, teachers and why is the secretary attacking a new virginia governor? >> glenn youngkin was elected, jen psaki was not selected, she was elected now she is out there. america has consequences and glenn youngkin won despite every democratic heavy hitter coming to campaign for him. and can you believe it, glenn youngkin is enacting campaign promises on day one. you got to love the white house press secretary. when it comes to mask, the white house briefing room, we watch this everyday, reporters are vaccinated and masked up. jen psaki is exempt from this rule during press briefings and look, everybody is socially distanced in the room now and for whatever reason, she is above that law in that room and all the other reporters in there, most are not speaking, are masked up. i wonder why there are rules for gen and not everybody else. >> griff: joe, why would she weigh in when we just saw glenn youngkin get elected. she could have not weighe

we are pleased to welcome to the broadcast in the white house press secretary jen psaki. en, first off the, thanks for staying up late. your morning person, i'm an night person, so i'm much more confident with this conversation. >> i'm going to see if i had too much coffee soon. i'll see if i had too much -- will see! we'll see! >> i don't do coffee. >> don't worry! >> let's go. it must be frustrating for you to see these record growth numbers, record jobs numbers, and then see a majority of americans and not have confidence in joe biden's handling of the economy. is that a messaging failure on joe biden's part, on your administration's part? >> it's a covid challenge, mehdi. look, i think we can celebrate, and i know you just talked about this, the fact that we haven't had this kind of economic growth and 37 years. i wasn't preschool at that point in time. that's exciting, we are growing at a faster rate of china for the first time in 20 years. that's good. we are on record low unemployment rates. that's good. but we also know is that we are fighting a pandemic. that's ve

in first, jen psaki. she owes you 20 minutes too. >> they keep calling on us at the briefing. as the president said, nothing personal, towel. i think that is enough. so we can move on. we can move forward. there will be years -- three to seven years of opportunities to ask him about different stuff different stuff. >> sean: we are proud of the good work you are doing. keep it up. i think it is a badge of honor myself. so if i'm your dad, i'm very proud of you tonight. great job, peter. last week, we played this rnc add that went after joseph disaster's press conference. we will remind you. >> the idea that -- the, uhm, -- the nature not -- when the political coverage that -- look, uhm. some of the political players and some of the -- let me ask a rhetorical question. no -- anyway. >> sean: i'm just going to stop it right there. anyway, cognitive decline, flashes of anger. here's a question and it is a serious one. is joe biden mentally fit to be the president of the united states? here is the cohost of "the five," although geraldo rivera. geraldo, i'm going to give you first c

we minder, we are waiting on the white house press briefing, we'll see what jen psaki has to say whenid the justice tell the white house ahead of this. shannon bream is live, she's joining us now. great to see you on this breaking news, all sort of still taking this in and trying to predict what this means and what will happen next. real quickly, when mike davis joined us last hour, he seemed to make a suggestion about how this went down, listen. >> it is surprising that the white house, the biden white house let this announcement leak and they let it get out there before justice breyer had the chance to make the announcement, i think it was bad form. >> sandra: i followed up right away and said do you know that to be the case? and he said he has not put out a statement yet. you have to wonder where the leak came from. would not have come from the supreme court. so in the speculation phase, we have not received the formal statement from justice breyer's office yet. >> yeah, and that's, that could be telling, potentially. i have multiple sources telling me that justice breyer was not p

jen psaki says she is being misinterpreted. we have the sound. congressman kat cammack, mark green, chris stuart, john joyce, former detroit police chief james craig, fox news contributor deroy murder stock, heritage foundation vice president of foreign policy, retired lieutenant colonel james carafano. this fight to reinstate first-responders, hospital workers fired because of draconian mandates for things like booster shots. calls grow for the workers to get reinstated with back pay and benefits. the cdc says boosters do not stop infection. the power of natural immunity after infection. this, pro-lock down leaders, officials called out worldwide for botching the pandemic as it goes endemic. europe is ditching mandates. are they antiscience? s. we have the joe rogan spotify controversy for you. the clinton campaign in more trouble. former general counsel mark elliot deletes a tweet media free speech rights be restricted. irony of that after "new york times" exposed his dark money fund-raising for democrats, democrats complained about for years.

here to discuss white house press secretary jen psaki. this morning you said -- >> hi jake. >> -- president biden was not katting doubt on the potential legitimacy of the 2022 election if the election reform bills are not passed and of course they failed to pass. i just want to play exactly what the president said yesterday. >> i'm not saying it's legit. the increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is a direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed. >> i am not saying it is going to be legit. i mean, he's not saying that it's going to be legitimate. that is pretty clear. >> well, here is what his intention was, jake. and what his intention was not. he was not trying to predict the 2022 elections would not be legitimate. quite the opposite. his view and he told us this privately a lot. the american people rose to the moment. we had covid. people were trying to suppress the vote. they still turned out in record numbers. what we need to be clear eyed about and what he was trying to convey last night is there were e

one thing that stood out to me in jen psaki's answer.the russian tension, she suggested, are you suggesting there will be a cold war? in the very next breath she defended being one of the only countries with families from the region. she said there's 100,000 troops on the border. that seems like a dangerous situation. you can't have your cake and eat it too. which is it? >> you want peter to say, is it a new cold war? it sounds like that's what you're talking about here. here's the problem. it feels like this administration on this issue has been a day late and dollar short all year long. the president misassessed the situation that he made a crucial error in speaking about it last week. now it feels like we're playing catchup. peter's just asking some very simple questions here. if we're pulling people out of this country, what does it mean? would you please tell us what's really going on and what you really think is going to happen? and they just don't have an answer, which is why it's been cleanup for a week, going on more than a week

that was jen psaki at the press briefing yesterday.n the messaging can get on the same page it is messy. it is basically a campaign problem. we've been seeing that forever except for the fact the first part he was mostly in the basement. now he is mostly in delaware. kevin. >> we'll hear from the president directly at 4:00 and he will answer all these questions coming before him in terms of covid, mid-terms and filibuster and in terms of all these issues facing the american people especially including inflation. we'll hear directly from the president this afternoon and we'll hear from him directly on march 1 for the state of the union speaking directly to the american people. >> harris: did he reset and get the polling numbers up? absolutely. we see this all the time in the first year of a presidential administration. bill clinton was in shambles and barack obama was in shambles without a lot of accomplishments. george w. bush was -- coming out of 9/11 in terms of reset. you see it all the time. >> harris: we'll move to this. delaware

>> joe: you have to wonder what white house press secretary jen psaki are thinking right now.dia turns against us on the media card one year ago. it is clear and here is your captain obvious statement coming, there ain't nothing going right for biden/harris right now. unlike bill clinton first year polling 37% or barack obama 40% heading into election year, you don't get a feeling there is a comeback coming. the public, more and more, sees this president, this vice president, the administration as incompetent, over their head, out of pulse with the american people. their priorities are inflation, crime, covid, education and the border, that is top of mind. what does team biden do? push a massive spending bill and what they call voting rights. the president is acting his age, he is stubborn, unsteady and the vice president has no plan b. just watch her interviews recently, 2021 was bad. 2022 may be worse for democrats accomplished at complaining and poor it seems at governoring and executing these days. >> todd: joe, that was the best summary, clip that, air it throughout the n

press secretary jen psaki spinning like she's never spun before to try to clean up the mess biden has i promise to -- "build back better" is not going to pass, and voting rights will not pass. apparently illegal. what happens? >> looked back at last year and what we were able to accomplish that includes getting the american rescue plan past. he also pressed, despite skeptics, to get an infrastructure bill passed. >> what happened to the guy who when he was elected said to make progress, we must treat our opponents as enemies. >> he was comparing the choice. >> the media that is tried to pop up and championed by it in every step of the way. >> president joe biden has had a very tough week. >> my goodness, every time i think the white house thought they've hit bottom, there seems to be a new bottom. >> it is hard to think of them as anything other than right-wing ideological -- they should all have right wing talk shows. they are not justices in the great tradition of the supreme court justices. >> she did something that is extraordinary. she completely embarrassed, politically embarras

as for the white house themselves, jen psaki said this "the need and the urgency for these policies isater than ever. and we are confident in the legal authority for both policies. the vaccine mandate as you know is set to take effect february 9th of course, pending the court's ruling. keep this in mind as well. how the justices rule is difficult to predict because so far the pandemic we have seen strike down a couple and let a couple go through, for example, the state vaccine mandates for health care workers in new york, those were allowed. you remember that. they allowed indiana university to go ahead. however if not federal, the supreme court has not been afraid to strike down. i for one cannot wait to see how it plays out and it all begins tomorrow, shannon. >> shannon: it does come in tomorrow morning. the white house is looking for the supreme court to give them a win friday or at least eventually after the arguments are heard. earlier today the focus was january 6th the commemoration, the president's speech on the anniversary but what kind of information is he getting? >> biden

>> two things about that, number one, jen psaki alluded to it. i tested positive here at the white house last monday morning for covid. i wasn't positive that i hadn't because i felt okay. i wanted to get another test near where i live and i did what joe biden said on tuesday, just google tests near me. not available. they were all jammed up. the white house was telling me to isolate. this website they'd been promising it was going to be ready, they were talking about it weeks ago, ready sometime in january where you can put in your address and the administration will send you a test to the post office, that's not available either. they missed their opportunity to help people traveling over christmas and at the same time joe biden was on tv talking about a winter of severe illness and death. they have been preparing the transition in delaware last year. here we are. >> sean: first of all, we are glad you are okay. great job today. you are on your a-game, as always. straight ahead new guidance from the biden administration says that your race may

dana p asked press secretary jen psaki exactly what joe biden meant?: i'm curious if he will say those 2022 elections will be illegitimate? speak live talk to the president about this and he absolutely is not predicting that the 2022 elections will be illegitimate. the point he was raising was both that in 2020 even amongst challenging circumstances, efforts to suppress the vote and at the midst of a pandemic there was a record turnout. he was not making a prediction. he has confidence in the american people and we will do everything we can -- >> he did make a prediction. >> jesse: kamala harris being rolled up for my bow duty, but in true fashion she made things worse by refusing to answer a simple question. >> if i may finish -- >> but the specific question if you don't mind, does he think now that the bills have not pass, that the midterms won't be legitimate warfare or free? >> let's not conflate issues. >> katie: and xp to dana, let's not conflate issues. i don't know what issues they have even agreed upon, it seems like everyone is saying somethi

what you think of jen psaki's comment there? entire biden healthcare team is not recognizing the viruses circulating in america today is a different virus than the traditional covid-19 deadly notice and fatality rates. it calls for different measures. were doing with oma cron which the cdc says is 99% of new cases. a large study of 52000 people with omicron out of california found that a single person end up requiring a ventilator. there may have been one death although it's not directly linked to the omicron variant. that is a death due to omicron we are talking about a fatality rate of one and 52000 presumably in someone with a lot of risk factors compare about variance read one and 400 americans.yet were taking all these policies designed for prior variance and applying them to a different virus. >> interesting that's quite a difference. that's an interesting statistic there. without federal judge in texas for government workers is unconstitutional. twenty-seven states sending letter to osha saying you have to start a vaccine

i thought it was interesting that jen psaki tried to side step this question of who should have morelth practices, masking requirements, etc., in schools. school officials or should it be parents? she side stepped it all and said public health authorities. should all be listening to them. so, obviously democrats have had a hard time with this. the governor of, the new governor of virginia is pushing hard on this, and white house is just trying to step out of the way on it. >> john: we should point out seven school districts in the commonwealth of virginia have sued the governor over the opt-out mask mandate. some school district, including the ones that my children attend, have said they'll implement this. other school districts like chesapeake, page county, they have decided they are going to do it as well. but comes down to the idea who best to look after the kids. is it parents or is it school boards? and if you take a look at fairfax county public schools, they are saying we are going to continue to follow c.d.c. guidelines, what this law that was passed last year by the virginia

look at the headlines president biden and jen psaki woke up to. gallup: biden, your one approval ratings subpar extremely polarized. the hill. "the washington post." the long slide inside biden's declining popularity as he struggles with multiple crises. politico saying poll numbers are underwater, agenda has stalled, inflation soaring. that is a press secretary and president are not the headlines you want to wake up to. the real question is whether the media, harris, will stand up and ask the questions. their four journalists in that room i know to be good journalists. among them are peter doocy of course. philip wegmann, great journalist. there are some good reporters in there. will they be called on? will they be called on? or will jen psaki give joe biden the list of people to question him and those four names are missing. i know those journalists will hold him accountable. >> harris: can i ask you a quick follow-up, kayleigh. i'm curious. did you ever pass out or read given a list. did you know exactly who's going to ask what's in the room? y

statement from jen psaki on russian aggression towards ukraine.at's a renewed invasion and it will be met with a swift, severe and united response from the united states and our allies. president biden also knows from long experience that the russians have an edges extensive playbook of aggression short of military action, including cyberattacks and paramilitary attacks and he affirmed today that those acts of russian aggression will be met with a decisive reciprocal and united response. so, again, putting out a statement after that news conference. we're back your panel. hugh hewitt, leslie marshall and ire ari fleischer. whenever that happens, ari, you know something has transpired that they really need to clean it up. as the secretary of state is actually in ukraine currently and meeting with the russians tomorrow. >> this is not and can never considered a minor mistake about a minor matter. this is about war and peace. this is about joe biden with his judgment and his experience, his 40 years in washington, his knowledge of foreign relations.

jen psaki said thank you a.b.s.e teachers in the midst of the variant, on her personal account. >> sandra: she did tweet that on her personal account. one says jen psaki wants to take her mask off when she wants to be better understood. and bring up mask wearing in a circle of parents, everyone has a strong opinion on this, john, and it's a fair point. no discretion that the students and the teachers are given to take it off if they are delivering a presentation, it's everyone has to wear it all the time. and i think it's worth bringing up, maybe, when jen psaki delivers from the white house briefing room she takes it off so she can be better understood and heard, to carol's point. >> john: and so many kids are wearing cloth masks, wouldn't want to wear the paper all day, and studies point when it comes to omicron they are not very effective. >> sandra: and on to the grad student killed in the middle of the day. her killer still on the loose. >> john: and the fbi under fire after an about face in the hostage takeoff

romaine: jen psaki was asked about this a couple weeks ago, a reporter asked her about at home tests, and whether the white house should do more. and the response that we got from jen psaki i think was taken by a lot of people to be a little less than forthright. i am curious here about the new cdc guidelines with regards to isolation, and what people should do if they do contract covid or if they feel they have been around people with covid. why are we shortening the timeframe now? what is the rationale the cdc has given? drew: one of the things we are seeing, especially for people who are vaccinated, is the course of this illness has been a little shorter. i know there is debate about this, but the ability to be able to test, try and identify continued transmissibility of the virus. this is one of these things where there has been a huge amount of changes to what the guidelines have been. the guidelines continue to evolve. another thing we are seeing is you talk about workforce shortages. there are a lot of people in the health care space who are needed to take care of patients, and

. >> white house press secretary and arlington county parent jen psaki is among those.ou schools for standing up for kids, teachers, administration in the midst of a transmissible variant. governor youngkin plans to use state resources to force schools to comply with his executive order. >> griff: interesting to see if that happens. live with the latest, brooke, thank you. want to bring in loudoun county virginia parent, rachel pasani. thank you for getting up early on this freezing monday morning to get your reaction to governor glenn youngkin taking office and getting busy right away. >> i think it is incredible. i think this is just an example to the rest of the country that parents' voices make a difference in their children's lives and glenn youngkin is delivering on promises he gave throughout his campaign and on day one, he kept them. >> griff: he did. now the 11 executive orders that he signed on day one range from everything from the mask to the investigation of pat role board in loudoun county. what matters most to you? >> it all matters to me, it affects our

the first briefing of the week with jen psaki half an hour away. sandra. >> sandra: ok, peter, we'll see you in a few minutes. john. >> john: looking forward to that. chicago public schools cancelling classes for a fourth straight day as the district and teachers' union continue to disagree on covid protocols. that's as medical experts warn about the true toll the pandemic is having on american students. more on all of this, a lot of people are up sit, gillian. >> american academy of pediatrics and others have declared a national state of emergency in children's mental health caused by covid. the c.d.c. is reporting a dramatic rise in adolescent e.r. visits for mental health crisis. grief, anxiety, depression, children have endured assault of the closures and forced isolation is now boiling over. one mother tells fox news her high school son behavior changed during his month, the months his school was shut down. >> he was failing, he fell into a deep depression, not a lot of communication between us. he was wandering, pacing, really almost -- it wa

jen psaki for now saying we have no additional details. that, wolf, out of respect to justice breyer to let him inform his colleagues and to give the white house to plan an event in which they will, number one, thank justice breyer but, number two, brace for what, even though the clock is on biden's side, even though the senate math just barely is on biden's side, will be a bruising mid-term election year confirmation battle. >> it depends on the nominee, who president biden picks to replace him, to succeed him on the u.s. supreme court, there might be some republicans who vote to confirm. usually it goes along those lines. but we shall see. we'll see who the president nominates, how long this takes. there will obviously be hearings before the senate judiciary committee before it goes to the full senate. this is going to be a long process, and as i said, justice breyer will remain -- will remain -- on the supreme court until the new nominee is officially confirmed by the united states senate. he's not leaving, at least not yet, although i

peter had a battle with jen psaki who admitted that an under funding of police departments has leded to a surge in crime. take a look c.. would you agree that the most important job for any president is to keep americans safe? i would agree with you said that the president's never satisfied people don't feel safe, that he know that after a year in office people do not feel safe saf in this country. well, peter, i i think if we lov at the facts, we've seen a surge of crime over the last two years. would you agree withar that ? so what do you attributeth the rise in crime to that ? well, i think we should be responsible and how reporting to the public what the what the whathe the roles are, what the reasons for the surge in crime gun violence is a huge reason for the surge in crime underfunding of some police departments and their need for additional resources, something the president has advocated for consistently through the course of his careerhe. that's something we know we need to take action on . hey, jen, just like covered this one up in twenty twenty one under joe biden. well,

jen psaki taking a shot at youngkin in a tweet backing up the school policy. is if you are a mom or dad and want little johnny or allison to wear a mask, they can wear a mask. what is the problem with letting the parents decide? >> dana: and also, if you are not in public schools and you are in private schools, why are you complaining? essentially, it affects the public schools. the thing about glenn youngkin, he is -- imagine this, following through on his campaign promises. his election was about -- a lot had to do about education. and also, it is very interesting. we talked about eric adams in the last block. in a way, glenn youngkin is the eric adams for the republicans. he has a fresh face elected during a time of turmoil. and has an opportunity to say, "you know what, i'm going for it." there was something different engine domain for china that i don't necessarily like but it is the way it is. you can only have one term as governor. so we doesn't have in the election to worry about. he's got a short amount of time to do as much as he possibly can and tha

jen psaki did our show and cnn and ron klain was out there as well.was a full-court press to clarify the message from wednesday. >> dana: it certainly has happened at a press conference has gone awry and the white house has to deal with fallout. i remember one in particular having to do with an answer on north korea that we had to figure out how to deal with. the other thing is sthe had all these people ready to do media the day after the press conference because of a triumphant victory lap and instead they ended up talking about a minor incursion. >> bill: so many times you want the president's words to stand on their own. it didn't happen here -- again. now there is this. watch. >> i see a gentleman who looks very similar to the man in the kupfer stabbing in l.a. >> bill: that first on fox now. that's the 911 call that led to an arrest in the stabbing death of brianna kupfer. where they found the suspect and where the investigation goes from here. >> dana: newly uncovered emails revealing more about hunter biden's business ties to china. then there

jen psaki defends the president's availability. >> we're always competing with time on the schedule.'ll be able to add some local interviews in the next couple of weeks. he takes questions multiple times a week. the president has taken your question. it is not accurate to suggest he isn't accessible or doesn't answer questions. >> harris: meanwhile it appears some democrats in key states are keeping their distance from the president. they are now going to seek reelection. first stacey abrams and others in georgia. she failed to become governor but she is running now for other things. now two leading democrats will not appear alongside the president today in pennsylvania. he is going to pittsburgh and they say they are having scheduling conflicts. marc thiessen, former white house speech writer in "focus." it happens once one thing. multiple people in one state. they had a huge infrastructure collapse in pittsburgh. it is a heartbreaking day there. maybe meeting with the president you could put pressure. i don't know. >> it's interesting that he won't do these local media interviews b

i will throw to jen psaki at the white house. about the economic recovery, the economy and she pointed to the omicron variant for why things may have slowed down. listen. >> because omicron was so highly transmissible, nearly nine million people called out sick in early january when the jobs data was being selected. during that same period of time and the week the survey was taken, the week of january 12 was at the height of the omicron spike so we just wanted to prepare, you know, people to understand how the data is taken, what they're looking at. >> trace: seems like here getting ahead of the jobs report to say things might not look so good because we were dealing with the spike in covid due to the omicron variant. is that fair? >> there's a growing concern that we'll see this bleed in the regular economy. you know, first it was a economic conversation. we talk about things like inflation that nobody cares about. now it's real. it's the grocery aisle. now it's oreos and its cheerios and smaller boxes. you know, you're getting

take a listen to jen psaki. >> we distributed the money out to states. some have spent it, others have not spend it. different schools made different decisions on how to spend it. >> when schools are closed, kids miss out on breakfast and lunch and after school help. martha? >> martha: thanks. let's bring in marc thiessen. good to have you with us. in my mind, if you are -- if congressman dates funding to a school system based on a vote in congress to pass a rescue package and the school decides to use it for something else, isn't that misappropriation of funds and if that's the case, shouldn't they be investigated for the way that they spent that money, especially if they're saying we don't have enough for masks or testing? >> especially because they said that they needed the money to reopen the schools. now they're not reopening. it's the justification for the money was to schools, local school districts are saying we can't reopen without this money. now they're not. the teacher's unions in chicago, 75% of chicago teachers voted not to return toin-pers

looks like jen psaki is the one driving me tinted out suv. >> greg: congratulations, jesse. >> jesse: thank you, greg. >> greg: i guess i don't know what it's about that we will have to wait till the end of the show. >> jesse: coming up, never ending covid confusion. wait until you hear the bombshell admission from the cdc director. ♪♪♪ my name is austin james. as a musician living with diabetes, fingersticks can be a real challenge. that's why i use the freestyle libre 2 system. with a painless, one-second scan i know my glucose numbers without fingersticks. now i'm managing my diabetes better and i've lowered my a1c from 8.2 to 6.7. take the mystery out of managing your diabetes and lower your a1c. now you know. try it for free at freestylelibre.us as a professional bull-rider i'm used to taking chances. but when it comes to my insurance i don't. i use liberty mutual, they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. wooo, yeaa, woooooo and, by switching you could even save 665 dollars. hey tex, can someone else get a turn? yeah, hang on, i'm about to break my ow

i'd be very concerned by the white house is not because jen psaki just said go have a margarita or gong. >> you brought that to us this morning, i have missed it. i want to play it. so, kayleigh, said let's go back to the white house lectern, where she used to stand come and see how the woman there now is doing. here is jen psaki's advice for people who are frustrated with what's happening in america. >> my advice to everyone out there who is frustrated, sad, angry, feel those emotions. go to a kickboxing class. have a margarita, do whatever you need to do and wake up and keep fighting. >> that was on the show the view, her view is got some margaritas and a question mark >> i've got some news for jen psaki. a lot of americans can afford those margaritas and kickboxing classes. i know it's a cozy life in the white house and you can go get your food at a really good price they are. but other americans are going to the grocery store and are stunned when i see see their prices doubling. they believed in the west wing but they need to go out and go across the country. what people are feeli

things have become so bad under biden that even jen psaki is now suggesting kickboxing or margaritashelp ease the pain. going to beat an awful lot of margaritas, take a look. >> we got to stay at its. my advice to everyone out there who is frustrated, sad, feel those emotions, go to kickboxing class, have a margarita, do whatever you need to do this weekend and wake up monday morning and we got to keep fighting. >> sean: we'll a drink margaritas all weekend and act like it wasn't a disastrous week. joining us now with reaction former senior advisor to president trump stephen miller along with fox news contributor miranda devine. i went through with president trump last night the first year of his administration versus the first year of biden. you couldn't have a more distinct difference than that, the accomplishments under fire every second, every minute come every hour of every day, that president trump had. the question is is there any one thing this white house can point to now that they can say is successful and does the spin routine of theirs, doesn't hold water with the america

and so by the way the white house press secretary jen psaki was asked about that last hour on "america's newsroom" and so it is something that the white house is going to have to deal with him saying that because the election, as i said, is november 8th and coming up. does the president believe it will be fair or not if he doesn't get the legislation he wants? if he doesn't get his way will he say it didn't happen the way it should have? we have to cover the news as it happens. will cain, great to have you in "focus." at the bottom of the hour we'll keep a promise i made to break through the monolithicly messyed ikts from the biden administration on coronavirus with "the faulkner focus" covid confusion. where are we right now in the pandemic? are our bodies capable of doing more than they're telling us? also, we'll unpack the president's comments on covid during his news conference yesterday. admiral brett giroir and dr. robert redfield. did the president give russia's putin a green light to invade ukraine? what he said sending shock waves around the rules has the white house cleaning it

press secretary jen psaki has her own unique way of responding to the growing chaos inside the bidente house as the dumpster fire gets worse and worse. she gets more mean and sarcastic, even mean-spirited at times. and a little arrogant on top of it, take a look. >> the sense of things are going well, there's no need for change. >> having worked in a white house before, you do hard things and white houses. you have every challenge at your feet -- late at your feet whether it's global or domestically and we could certainly propose legislation to see if people support bunny rabbits and an ice cream but that wouldn't be very rewarding to the american people so the president's view is we are going to keep pushing for hard things and we are going to keep pushing the boulders of the hill to get it done. >> sean: bunny rabbits and ice cream, great answer. she would prefer questions about those two items, may be then she give capable or give us a real answer. today our own peter doocy asked her about the president's vindictive tone when he called out more than half of america as domestic ene

that's why jen psaki and biden himself clarified what he said.alls of the pentagon with high level meetings ongoing about how to deter moscow. these satellite images show more than 100,000 russian troops still amassed on the eastern border of ukraine poised to move in at a moment's notice. what has the pentagon's attention is the air power putin has amassed. six winged aircraft and attack helicopters, all of russia's air force on alert and in position to strike. reports from moscow that russian lawmakers are pushing putin to recognize two ukrainian break-away regions that would necessitate russian military involvement. the pentagon has not spoken on the record about the tense standoff since tuesday. >> there's no sign, no indication that the russians are willing to deescalate. he clearly is building up a force posture there that provides him multiple only shuns. it's difficult to know right now what options he's going to choose. we still don't believe that he's made a final decision. >> martha: all eyes remain on the large-scale number of russian

how many times have you heard jen psaki, paris, say that it's the greed of the meat companies? >> harris: it's just the peloton buyers. >> cheryl: it right, or gasoline up 50% year-over-year, that's because of greedy energy companies. meanwhile they have plenty of departments and committees and things that they could use, research tools within the u.s. government i think where they could give us proof in a report. they don't seem to be able to show me the proof. if there is gouging in the meat industry then i will take back my disdain for jen psaki and what i think she has been deflecting from the podium. >> emily: and harris you mentioned, who's watching this? all that's in part the media's job, to observe and to get the facts, clean the facts and disseminate them. that's been stoked by -- we have a tweet from brian stelter, who said what empty shelves? as he explains, looking for milk for a 2-year-old. those are real concerns and they are not to be mocked but it was certainly amplified within social media and mainstream media that real americans concerns were somehow to be ig

jen psaki also said that there is no such thing as a secret flight. as you know, secret in this context has to do with the time and the place that these flights were going, not the fact that no one in the administration knew about them. of course they did. critics argued that is precisely the type of verbal jujitsu that will sway voters come november. >> i think a lot of americans really understand what is going on. i think that they are shocked when they realize it is the federal government that is making these people and in the middle of the night weather whether is it in a bus in texas and law-enforcement tells me they see them get off of the middle of the night in the city. this is happening all over the country and is a gallant people think it's a president but that's exactly what's going on. ashley henson introduce legislation today two-part taxpayer money for pain from microplates into the us interior florida set of her rick president biden and mayorkas of showing disregard for us immigration law, adding that there are consequences to their fai

and jen psaki laughed when they talked about violent crime.ghs as people are suffering, she laughs as police officers are being shot in the street and asked about inflation, she says go have a margarita? we can't even find the ingredients on the shelves or take a kick boxing class? are you kidding me? people don't have the money to feed their families and you are suggesting that? it just boggles the mind what they are focussing on, might be the most tone deaf administration in decades. >> she says in the white house briefing, she was asked about it by our own reporter, jacqui heinrich, says she was commenting on a chiron on the screen, on our network screen in the moment she was delivering the interview. she said the banner had something about soft on crime consequences in it, and she said that it took the white house policies on crime out of context, she was asked about it and here was her response in the briefing room. >> if you look at fox on a daily basis, do you remember the four boxes that you had, that we had on all the tvs, so right no

afterwards, jen psaki answered weston's about the president speech in georgia.

at msdn see our kind of losing into following the great let not your heart be troubled, last week jen psaki said he wasn't trying to offend anyone when he called them domestic enemies after all, george wallace was an old friend , right, jen? here with clay travis along wit fox news contributor, you are looking healthy, that means i'm assuming that covid is over and you're feeling better? >> is, thank you for asking paradigm 2-0 against covid i ha it in november of 2020 and now think i had the micron version last week i am 100 percent back and ready to roll, to tee off here on the absurdity of all th things you just laid out, here is the big story here is what i going on. here is the deal, the democrats managed, even in the middle, even in the middle of using covid to drag joe biden from hi basement across the finish line and the electoral college, if you will look at the tally of votes that are out there, 20,00 votes in wisconsin, 10,000 vote in georgia, 10,000 votes in arizona, if 20,000 people chang their mind in this country out of the 300,000,330,000,000 we have, that's 150 million plus

jen psaki said it could come at any moment.t with that message we've been hearing from the biden administration. there's no sign, by the way, diplomacy is working or this is the opposite of de-escalation. >> right. it is. and on the diplomacy note, you keep hearing from officials who are still trying that route but at this point, steve, do you think that's a lost cause? >> i'm not sure that it's a lost cause. i don't think i would go that far. let's be honest, neither side has agreed to the other side's demands. both sides have sort of said the other side is unacceptable. you wonder where exactly they go from here. but to address the issue of the evacuation again and what has changed, you know, it's entirely possible the information the embassy is getting on the ground might not have as much to do with the russian troops or its concern about american personnel going to the eastern part of the country where there's fighting. things like street violence, the possible closure of airports, the possible breakdown of infrastructure,

they see an invasion as increasingly likely as jen psaki said earlier today. they are at a moment closer than they have been really to being able to launch an attack at virtually any time. and so what the administration is thinking about now is the less how to deter an invasion by bolstering ukrainian military forces there and more how to sustain a resistance campaign essentially if russia were to invade and were to occupy large swaths of territory of ukraine. they essentially want to raise the costs to make it very difficult for vladimir putin to make a decision about whether to invade because of how hard it will be for him to hold offto the country. now it remains to be seen whether or not president biden's commitment to not putting u.s. forces on the ground there in the event that war erupts holds. special operations forces are circling in and out of ukraine and the cia may actually be instrumental in maintaining that kind of resistance force, helping the ukrainians put up that fight essentially if a war does erupt. >> natasha bertrand, thank you. >>> let's
